Gritz Blitz beat KayCee Chiefs to remain undefeated in 97.0-64.5 landslide

Gritz Blitz won their third game in a row to open the season with a convincing win over KayCee Chiefs, cruising to a 97.0-64.5 victory. KayCee Chiefs jumped out to an 18.0-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding showings from Najee Harris (10 points) and Cade York (4). But it was all Gritz Blitz after that. They were led by the Cincinnati Bengals defense, who allowed only 12 points, surrendered 328 yards, and forced 4 turnovers for 29 points, and Joe Burrow, who passed for 275 yards and 3 touchdowns (12 points). Gritz Blitz (3-0) will look to keep it rolling against Drones, while KayCee Chiefs (0-3) will take on Assimilate THIS in an effort to get back on track.
